| Abstract: | Marine Life in the seas around Malta is the subject of this issue. It gives philatelic recognition to the positive interest taken by Malta in many aspects of marine affairs. The 2c stamp features the single-shell mollusc, known as "Gibbula Nivosa" to the studious, but called "Bebbuxu tal-Borra" by the local fishermen, who at times use them as bait. This is found only in the sea around Malta. Its colouration is fairly variable but its standard pattern includes many white spots giving it its technical name. [excerpt] |
